Position Overview 

Reporting to the Controller, the Supply Chain Accounting and Cash Manager will own end-to-end accounting support for Maesa’s supply chain activities while leading day-to-day cash management and liquidity reporting. This role partners closely with Supply Chain, Operations, Procurement, and Finance to ensure accurate inventory and cost accounting, timely close and reconciliations, disciplined controls, and clear cash visibility to support growth and speed-to-market. The ideal candidate brings a strong blend of operational accounting, working-capital rigor, and hands-on execution in a fast-paced environment. 

 

Key Responsibilities 

Supply Chain Accounting (Inventory & Cost) 

• Own inventory accounting, including PO/invoice-to-receipt matching impacts, inventory reserves/obsolescence, and inventory reconciliations by location/3PL. 

• Maintain and analyze standard costs (as applicable) and landed cost components (freight, duties, packaging, co-man fees), ensuring accurate capitalization and timely variance analysis. 

• Record and reconcile inventory movements (receipts, transfers, adjustments, write-offs) between ERP and operational systems; investigate and resolve discrepancies with Supply Chain and 3PL partners. 

• Support physical counts/cycle counts, including planning, observation support, reconciliation, and documentation of results. 

Close, Reconciliations & Controls 

• Lead monthly close activities for supply chain-related accounts (inventory, cost of goods sold, freight-in, duty, accruals, rebates/chargebacks as applicable), ensuring completeness and accuracy. 

• Prepare and review account reconciliations with clear support and variance explanations; drive timely issue resolution and continuous improvement in close cadence. 

• Strengthen processes and internal controls across procure-to-pay and inventory-to-GL flows; partner with the Controller on audit requests and documentation. 

Cash Management & Working Capital 

• Manage daily cash positioning, bank activity review, and cash availability reporting; escalate exceptions and support cash controls (approvals, segregation of duties). 

• Maintain short-term cash forecast and weekly liquidity outlook in partnership with FP&A and AP/AR; identify drivers and propose actions to improve working capital. 

• Support banking operations (account maintenance, fees analysis, positive pay/ACH controls where applicable) and assist with treasury-related schedules and reporting. 

• Partner with Supply Chain and Procurement to align payment timing with inventory receipts and production schedules while maintaining strong vendor relationships. 

Cross-Functional Partnership & Systems 

• Serve as the finance point of contact for supply chain accounting matters, providing clear guidance to Operations, Procurement, and 3PL/contract manufacturing partners. 

• Improve data quality and automation across inventory, AP, and cash processes; help define requirements and user acceptance testing for system enhancements. 

• Develop and monitor key metrics (inventory turns, aging/reserves, freight-in as % of sales, working capital) and communicate trends and risks to the Controller and business partners. 

Qualifications 

• Experience: 4 -8 years of progressive accounting experience, including inventory/cost accounting, supply chain finance/accounting, and month-end close in CPG, beauty, retail, or manufacturing environments. 

• Cash Management: Hands-on experience with daily cash positioning and short-term cash forecasting; comfort partnering across AP/AR and FP&A to drive working-capital visibility.
